Incredible location just 10 minutes up the mountain from the Smoky Mountain Park exit. We had luck on our drive up, as we received snow due to the elevation of the mountain. We also saw a family of bears who got incredibly close, walking around the porch outside the cabin. Make sure to secure that food!The host provides about 1/4 cord of firewood to burn, which kept the accommodation nice and toasty. It was incredible. Pigeon Forge is also just 15-25 minutes away, traffic depending. Overall a fantastic, cute experience. We didn't want to leave!Will be planning to stay here again.

Our stay at the gingerbread cabin was awesome. They provided firewood for the indoor fire place. The hot tub was great. My only negative and this does not have anything to do with our cabin, but i have to admit it was pretty scary driving up Ober Mountain, There are no guard rails on the majority of the mountain you have to be super careful. going up there..The property itself was absolutely beautiful great hot tub two bedrooms, pool table which my husband and I enjoyed very much sat outside in the morning looking at the mountain. The weather was pretty good when we were there, it did get a little chilly at night time, but we utilized the hot tub a lot. I would recommend staying at the Gingerbread House to everyone.

We loved staying at the cabin!! It is in a great location and close to all the places we wanted to go to. Great communication regarding what would be available to us and what we would need to bring as far as supplies. Definitely in an area where you will get to see bears up close 🙂.

Quiet cabin

We had a great time, saw 1 yearling cub and 1 adult black bear very early in the mornings right on the upper deck and walkway. lots of chipmunks and a ton of leaves falling. Very quiet and peaceful cabin would highly recommend to anyone looking for a very quiet get away.

Great cabin, quiet

This cabin is a cute little cabin in the woods. The neighbors are close but not too close. They are down the mountainside or up. Noise is minimal. We got to see bears near the cabin everyday. Would definitely rent again.

Anniversary getaway

The cabin was nice and clean and the location was good. Parking is a little tricky with no room to turn your vehicle around. A recliner or some other comfortable chair would be nice in the living room as the only seating was the sofa. Overall it was a nice surprise lace to stay.
